It seems to be very hard to get to level 100 .

I guess I'm not trying hard enough!

Griot Liberte - Buster Williams (Hybrid MultiCh SACD).

I bought this on the recommendation of reviews over at sa-cd.net saying it was a great discrete surround mix.. well its not that great, a lot of the time it's double stereo, there's some weird illogical pans of drums and things from front to back but it really doesn't work for me.

Plus (sacrilege to some, I'm sure) it doesn't help in my enjoyment of the disc that it's the kind of jazz that's bordering on the plinky-plonky at times.. there are times where its almost like the old piano's been chucked down the stairs it's got that kind of vibe to it, if you know what I mean.

Let It Go! - Deitra Farr (Hybrid MultiCh SACD).

Now this is more like it! Another superb JSP Blues disc... the usual (excellent) JSP surround mix with discrete horns and keys and stuff in the rear, lead vocals sounding gorgeous hard in the centre with muted vocal ambience front left & right, just how 5.1 should be done.. the only mixer I let off the hook for not doing it that way is my favourite mixer, Elliot Scheiner (who isn't big on lead vox hard in the centre) but done properly like Greg Penny on the EJ mixes and how the JSP guys did it.. 5.1 this way is just superb.

The Beach Boys were early proponents of surround!
